Is your block ready?
Let’s work together to get there.
No experience necessary.
As a Host, you provide the location, reach out to your neighbors and friends, and coordinate a potluck.
We will set you up for success by providing you with ready-made flyers, a guide to hosting, and a signed copy of The Pacific Northwest Disaster Guide by Henry Latourette Miller.
The first 10 people to sign up (including the host) receive a free ready-bag and a printed copy of the Aware and Prepared Curriculum!
